Staying true to their promise of new content before the end of the year, Nine Inch Nails has dropped a new single (listen below) and released their much-anticipated EP Not The Actual Events a day ahead of the scheduled drop date.

You can pick up Not The Actual Events at the band’s official webstore.

Not The Actual Events, the new 5 song EP finds Reznor and now official bandmate Atticus Ross taking an unexpected left turn from 2013’s Hesitation Marks and sounding unrecognizable from their current film work.

“It’s an unfriendly, fairly impenetrable record that we needed to make” says Reznor. “It’s an ep because that ended up being the proper length to tell that story.”
